Even for reality TV, PBS has you covered: The Great American Recipe takes the Bake-Off format and becomes a really uplifting celebration of America's diverse food culture. Finding Your Roots offers a profound look at immigrant history - which is to say American history. The passport is top value.

PBS has a better catalogue of stuff than any other streaming service, with some particularly rich pickings in European costume and crime dramas. Wolf Hall is must-see, all-time great television. Unforgotten is one of the best and largely unsung detective dramas of recent years.

one of the single best deals in streaming. i've been paying for PBS Passport for years. it rules

A bullet point from a news article on the new Heathrow expansion. It reads: "A new terminal called T5X, expanding Terminal 2 and three new satellite terminals. It would close Terminal 3"

I will support the expansion of Heathrow if the people responsible for naming the new terminal are buried in the tarmac.

That's how you can tell human authors from AI.

AI will put in some em dashes, then apologise and take them out when told off.

Human authors will climb the filing cabinet, hissing, and defend their right to em dashes with a loaded stapler.

well. at least there's new worms

Lovely optical effect when I scroll this on my phone.

When the article is this bad in all terms, you know it's only there to help manufacture consent for something atrocious.

Enjoying the crashing stupidity of the grocery discourse as though I were being showered by an invigorating ocean spray.

It's always been stupid, but now I don't even know if I'm charging for a post or not. The various options for audience and monetization are spread across two separate, mutually exclusive checklists. If I want to make a post public but still charge patrons, I have no idea what to select.

I genuinely think the UI team at Patreon are unwell and someone should check on them. The latest creator page refresh is can't-draw-a-clock-face levels of derangement.

Pod! @cjpt.bsky.social and @marshdavies.bsky.social are joined by illustrator and RPG designer @paulscottcanavan.com to talk about draining men (halleluja), the not-so-shy huluds and space-nun zoomies of Dune: Awakening. We do not talk about Donkey Kong Bananza.

I’d love to catch up, but I’m a little horse.

I have often felt that my lineart and drawing have made little progress in recent years. Ergo Cosmos has also been a testing ground, an attempt to work on these weaknesses and develop brushes and tools that could suit a specific vision.

It's true that strategic adoption of magic beans generally leads to a beanstalk with superb access to the giant's castle. The UK will benefit from vital early access to the giant, who is not confirmed to eat Englishmen.

A monkey sits on a stone ledge overlooking a densely packed cityscape, with its head lowered and hands resting between its legs. Colorful prayer flags are strung overhead, fluttering in the wind. The scene includes red brick structures and a hazy sky in the background.

My mother took this photograph once in Kathmandu and I don’t think it’s ever been seen outside of family. It’s worth sharing

Modal pop up that offers me two options: turn on AI and regain access to features I already had, like flight itinerary integration in Calendar or file suggestions in Drive search, or turn off AI and lose them.

So Google is now going to hold existing features hostage until I let them smear my account in AI dogshit. Where's the third option to immediately launch an FTC antitrust suit?

Voting ends on Sunday! Winning would be nice, but mostly I just want more people to play (or at least read) our game. It's free! You can wall up an entire choir in a mad abbot's chapel! Convert wolves to Christianity! Out-smart the troublingly sexy Green Knight!
